Love your dedication Walter.
You somehow managed to give nearly every game played in the south some form of recognition by attending the grounds and taking some photos of the action.

I don't know how you do it, but kudos to you.

It’s getting beyond a joke the favouritism that Penvonport get when it comes to big calls in games. South should have had at least 2 penalties while Penvonport keep up there soft penalty average.mr greedio must not be able to believe his good fortune being gifted so many pens in a season.

9:17, you’re really starting to embarrass yourself. If your team got into threatening positions more often you might too reap reward.

Was the correct call from Kopra, well done and didn't put a foot wrong.

This is tiresome.

Again Devonport copping unjustified stick from the jealous opposition supporters.

Hopefully Pitchford listens back to the live commentary and how disgusting his language was for City on the bench. The king of time wasting having a go at another keeper for doing what he did at Devonport all the time. Better Juve won!

I hope you are able to sleep ok tonight? I feel for you. This trauma is getting too much for you I can tell. It’s sad you don’t know your d’s from your p’s

What are you talking about? There’s only one Juve in Tasmania nowadays.

Anonymous said...

If 'Mr Kopra didn't put a foot wrong' why did the Port players protest every single decision given against them? ..tiresome indeed!

Anonymous said...

The refereeing for South v Dport was some of the poorest I have witnessed.

It negatively influenced the game and it wasn’t just the penalty decisions.

Actually there are no Juve’s in Tasmania. It’s in Italy

This whole competition is again starting to have a familiar feel about it. I even predicted a 2-1 victory to Devonport and the diff to be a penalty. Yawn !!!

Anonymous said...

Hi. Are you ok? You seem to be jealous

Anonymous said...

Yeah I noticed that too. Pitchy should be a lot more careful with his choice of words, same with Mr Syson.
I get that they were frustrated losing the game but there's no need for that from coaching staff. Lack of class! They're both inexperienced as coaches though so hopefully they learn.

According to the stats 18 fouls were committed by south hobart and only 7 by devonport. Different sets of rules for devonport to all the other teams in the league.

88min 34 sec barton stomps on sloane's foot way after ball is played apparently not a foul.
80:15 reissing holds number 19's arm as he's trying to run away, 19 turns around pushes him to release his own arm... yes shouldn't retaliate but without a doubt if one is carded both should be.
55:29 yellow card - #8's first foul of the game, yes goes with a bit of shoulder (how devonport tackle too) but barely gets anything of their player... player goes down, yellow card - fair enough if he collects him or makes significant contact but he didn't, clips an ankle at best.
37:12 berezansky slide tackled from behind in the box, absolutely no ball somehow no penalty.
Terrible refereeing isn't a problem if its consistent both ways, it's the consistent inconsistency that is the frustration.
Regardless of all that, ballantyne grow up & pull your head in. The way you carry on is a joke.

Kopra will be given life membership at the Port if this keeps happening!

Anon 11.25 . You are definitely right there.

The use of the long ball with the wind in the second half to Riley Dillon was the only thing that saved the Zebras , clearly if this man leaves they are doomed as the rest of them are not much chop

Anonymous said...

Question for Ben Smith. How many penalties have refs kopra given to penvonport? Coad is another who loves a strikers pen

Anonymous said...

Haha oh dear. Maybe Devonport should leave the competition? Then it will be fair?

Anonymous said...

So a good tactic is to blame for them winning? Or City not changing their tactic for not countering it? Zebras played the conditions and opposition better. Well coached Brett

You know something is wrong with the standard of refereeing when both sets of supporters are haranguing the official at halftime.

First conflict of interest being a South supporter. Devonport showed determination in holding on for their 2-1 win over South. The defence, midfield and attack all combined in a cohesive team. South probably relied on its senior players but were frustrated by a close marking opponent (as they say in AFL, Port kept winning the contested ball).
Noted previous comment on the alleged Devonport aggresive approach. Lot of noise 1st half, although most teams shout for free kicks at times. Maybe not impressed when Port used the Refs name when calling for free!
Now the dust has settled it proved to be a competitive and entertaining match (of course there is always the next match to look forward to). Keith Roberts.

You might want to watch the replay of Ali Dullah getting sent off for a red card for striking Dent in the face where the video clearly shows he doesn't and one would probably be upset with a yellow let alone a red and Devonport could have had another penalty for hand ball in the second half as well but was denied, you don't get them all. This may curve the bias comments which are very childish.

Anonymous said...

Agreed. Heard it all from just past the zebras box. Hope they learn fast as their language was not ok.

Anonymous said...

The Devonport fans are very sensitive as they know the favouritism their team gets form the referees. It’s ridiculous at valley road but away from home as well. The statistics doesn’t lie

Anonymous said...

Oh dear. CLZ win and you've got to find a petty bitch about them. Your life must be do sad. " play to the conditions " it's been drummed into all of us since we started playing. One team did, one didn't.

Anonymous said...

Just a note Re Ali Dullah send off. He had already collected a yellow card during the first half so a second with the Dent incident would have meant a red anyway.
